Red Fire, a red leaf lettuce, is slow growing, but produces large uniform heads with loads of colorful frilly leaves that are shiny and somewhat puckered. It retains its sweet flavor even when the weather warms up. Red Fire also has proven to be bolt resistant and is suitable for both cool and warm conditions. Popular with market farmers for full size heads, home gardeners like it because they can  pick the individual leaves over the length of the season.
